Unforgiven’s Legacy and the Evolution Of The Western | CINEMA GREATS
Unforgiven (staring, directed, and produced by Clint Eastwood,) looks like just another old-school Western, a nostalgic genre throwback. But upon closer inspection, Unforgiven reveals itself to be a much more interesting film, with a much more meaningful legacy. While the film has the feel of a classic western, it also challenges the genre of the Western and the black-and-white idea of a Western hero. It revisited the myth of the American West in ways that future Revisionist Westerns would continue to build on and take further. So even if you haven’t seen the movie, you’ve probably seen modern neo-Westerns that stand on the shoulders of the revival this movie kicked off.
